Recipe Notes
Storage Instructions
Steak & Mash
Store cooled steak slices and sweet potato mash in airtight containers.
Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Chimichurri Butter
Store in an airtight container or wrapped in baking paper in the fridge for up to 7 days.
You can also freeze it for up to 1 month.
Fried Egg

If you’re meal prepping, store separately and reheat gently — but for best results, fry the egg when ready to eat.
Reheating Instructions
Steak
Microwave on medium for 60–90 seconds, covered, or gently reheat in a pan over low heat until just warmed through.
Avoid high heat to prevent drying out.
Sweet Potato Mash
Microwave in bursts of 30–60 seconds, stirring between each until hot.
Add a splash of water or milk if needed to loosen the texture.
Chimichurri Butter
Allow to melt naturally over hot steak or mash when serving.
Egg
Recommended to fry fresh — if reheating, microwave for 10–15 seconds on low or heat gently in a pan.
